These are some of the tensegrity designs I have built. Some are standard models, and there are also elbow and foot models.
Kenneth Snelson’s “Tall Star”. Black Walnut, Mylar, and Brass, 19″, 2024 – reproduced from images.
This was a fun project that connected me with Snelson’s genius, continually surprised by his affinity for complex geometrical relationships. As always in making tensegrity models, the model is a bundle of chaotic sticks and wires. When that last tendon connects it pops into life as an integrated structure. Highly recommend playing with tensegrity to experience holism.
